Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL8X50SBS
The AirTAC Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL8X50SBS is a genuine HLS slide-table cylinder, 8 mm bore: a double-acting dual-rod air cylinder integrated with a cross-roller guide so the table travels straight with high rigidity and low deflection. It delivers about 38 N of push at 0.5 MPa. This is the symmetrical version. A floating joint spares the rod from side torque; the magnet is fitted as standard.

About the Airtac HLSL Precision Slide Table Cylinder HLSL8X50SBS
The HLSL8X50SBS is the symmetrical cross-roller slide table of the HLS family, pairing a dual-rod double-acting cylinder with an integrated cross-roller guide for straight, rigid, low-deflection table travel. The symmetrical housing accepts workpiece mounting on two faces, and the floating joint keeps side torque off the rods. Bore 8 with a 50 mm stroke provides light, precise thrust for fine handling duties - the dual-rod layout doubles the thrust of a single-rod equivalent - and the BS suffix fits shock absorbers on the extension side, damping the impact as the table reaches the working end of its stroke.
It is a genuine AirTAC part with the magnet fitted as standard; magnetic-switch slots on the body accept CMSH, DMSH and EMSH sensor switches. It runs on air filtered to 40 um, handles proof pressure of 1.2 MPa (175 psi), operates from -20 to 70 C at 50-500 mm/s, and ports are M5x0.8 on this bore. The exact thrust, dimensions and allowable load or moment figures for this model are in the on-page specification table - ask us and we will confirm them from the datasheet.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC HL slide-table data. Max working pressure is 0.7 MPa. The table rides on an integrated linear guide — do not apply strong impact or large moment. Allowable load and moment are published as tables and curves, and overall dimensions vary per stroke — ask us and we confirm from the datasheet.
How to choose
Bore 8 delivers the lightest thrust in the HLSL cross-roller range; select a larger bore (12, 16, 20 or 25) when your cycle needs more push. Stay with HLSL for maximum precision and rigidity, move to HLQL if you want an anti-rust, dust-proof ball-bearing guide, or to HLH or HLF for a miniature roller-ball or low-height cross-roller body. The 50 mm stroke is within the published bore 8 stroke table.
The BS code here means shock absorbers on the extension side only - ideal when the working stroke ends in a controlled stop. Alternatives: blank bumpers, A rubber stoppers both ends, B shock absorbers both ends, AF/BF on the retraction side. Thread is PT on this model. For load, moment and kinetic-energy checks use the published tables and curves, or let us confirm them for your application.
Applications
Controlled-stop small-parts transfer
BS shock absorbers on the extension side cushion the table as it arrives at the pick position, so delicate small parts are transferred without shock loads on the cross-roller guide.
Multi-station indexing of a fixture plate
Mounting faces on both sides of the symmetrical table let you carry several small fixtures and index them across the 50 mm stroke with repeatable straightness.
Precision assembly stage
The cross-roller guide holds low deflection under light loads, making the slide suitable as a compact feed or press-fit stage in benchtop assembly.
FAQ
How do I choose between BS, BF and B shock absorber options on the HLSL8X50SBS family?
The letter pair names the shock absorber and its side: BS fits them on the extension side, BF on the retraction side, and B on both ends. Shock absorber options are offered on the HLS/HLQ families from bore 8 upward - not on bore 6 - and HLH/HLF models carry no adjuster code at all. Pick the side where your cycle actually decelerates the load.
How should I control the speed of the HLSL8X50SBS?
Meter the exhaust air (meter-out) and keep the table within the 50-500 mm/s speed range using flow controls on the M5x0.8 ports. Operating pressure for bore 8 is 0.2-0.7 MPa (29-100 psi), and 0.7 MPa is the maximum working pressure.
